StrokesFrom the Handicap CommitteeHandicap Committee Members:Marion Dantzler * Paige LaSalle * Laura Spearman * Jim Staif * Marilyne Todd * Rich Wright * Scott McClinton, non-votingThought for the month… Tournament scores are “special” for handicap purposes.In last months' “Strokes” article, we discused how handicaps are actualy calculated and mentioned an adjustment that takes place for tournament scoresif they are lower than the handicap calculation otherwise. Specificaly, tournament scores are marked by the Pro Shop with a “T” on the GHIN system(T-scores). They stay on GHIN in a separate file for each individual on a revolving 12 months basis. A detailed formula and method for the actual adjustmentcan be found in The USGA Handicap System reference book, but for our purposes we'll keep it a bit simpler. Only the best six (minimum oftwo) T-scores in the file are used to determine if an adjustment is necessary. If the second best T-score index differential is 3.0 or more compared to theregular Handicap Index, then an adjustment will be made. The two lowest T-score differentials are then averaged and subtracted from the HandicapIndex. The result of this calculation is then compared to the USGA's chart for this purpose. Using this calculated number and the number of eligibletournament scores from which the best six were drawn, the chart indicates the appropriate handicap reduction which is applied to the individuals handicapindex and marked with an “R”. Each handicap cycle a T-score adjustment determination is made for all players on the GHIN system. And, by the way,two of your fellow club members were subject to this adjustment this past cycle.And, please... we need your help with the scorecards!!One of the ways the Handicap Committee monitors the process of scorecard posting is to compare the Pro Shop's tee sheets with the scores posted for thatday. During a recent such comparison a surprisingly large percentage of the scorecards were not posted. Although more than one factor accounted forthis discrepancy, nearly all of which have been addressed, the biggest one only members can solve... the insufficient or indecipherable information onscorecards turned in. Simply, the pros need an essential minimum of accurate information in order to post a scorecard... and too often they just don't haveit. So, please help them and us by recording, at a minimum, the following on each scorecard:A legible first initial and last name for each player.Each players' member number in the box provided, legible, or write “guest”.Check the appropriate box for the tees you played in the spaces provided to the far right.If you play the Players' Course tees record a maximum of the Equitable Stroke Control score for the player on each hole (the system isn't set up torecord hole by hole for the Players' Course tees).The date played.If you post your own scores, after posting please make sure that the scorecard is placed in the box in the computer posting area. Please do not givethem to a Pro... that is only for when you wish them to post the score for you.Thanks, in advance, for your help in making our handicap process much smoother and more accurate by following these few steps.Another reminder, at the end of this year two of our Handicap Committee members will rotate off of the committee. Preferably, we would like one newmale and one new female member for next year's group. Anyone interested should contact one of the members of the Handicap Committee within thenext month or two.On The Gren’s With AaronAaron SchickGolf Course SuperintendentC.G.C.S.Wow that was fun!! What was fun? The divot filling party hosted by the green committee that was held on July23 rd . For those of you that were not able to make it you missed out on a fun evening of fellowship with yourfriends. In about two hours and the helping hands of forty five members we were able to sand divots on alleighteen holes. We had a keg accompany us on the course and Cathy provided us with some much neededappetizers upon completion. Due to the success we have scheduled another party for the 1 st of September. It is aTuesday night and we will be sanding from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. We look forward to seeing you.Thank You for being a member!!Aaron Schick, CGCSIn mid-August, the city began taking bids for completing the lake dredging project.Work should begin fairly soon and the city expects work to be completed by the end of the year.
